Thanks for making this thread, gonna be following this one closely.

The wife and I just got into making cocktails after we realized that we drink too much beer and our liquor has just been sitting around. We have some of the stuff needed for proper cocktailing, however, we need to add to our 'mixers'. Currently only have Grenedine, Rose's Lime Juice, Triple Sec, and Dry Vermouth.

My favorite thus far is a proper gin and juice.

2 oz Gin
3 oz Orange Juice
2 oz Grapefruit Juice
Wedge of Lime


So f'n good.

I do have one question though, when a book says a 'measure of X' does that mean it's all in relation to the other measure's that are listed?

For Example
2 measures of gin
2 measures of grenadine
1 measure of fresh lime juice

Yes, it's just indicating the proportions and you can scale it to fit your glassware.

It's generally 30mls (1 liquid ounce-ish)

Thanks you two. I already assumed a measure indicated an oz, so I'll just keep believing that. I just whipped up a "New York Experience" Bourbon, Triple Sec, and Dry Vermouth, yum.

Ok so I went ahead and made this. I used Michters small batch, Cointreau, and Martini & Rossi Dry.

Thanks for posting, I really like it. I have to admit this isn't a recipe I would normally see and think 'Oh I'm gonna make that'. I really like the way the vermouth and Cointreau work together, and how the bourbon is just sort of...there, through everything.

I agree, this drink is going to go into my rotation. I was out of Bourbon this weekend or I would have had quite a few more.

What are your favorite gins?

New Amsterdam is very good for the price.

Other than that, I drink Bombay Sapphire, Beefeaters, and Tanqueray. Depends on the price of the handle when I'm shopping
